About . . . ?

And if you say "comic books," I'm going to punch you right in the ****.

What do you want to discuss? The state of the industry? How to make one? The move from independent comics to web comics? What's the difference between a trade paperback and a graphic novel? How to break in to the biz?

You gotta give us a tad more to go on here.

Comic Book Men is an American reality television series airing on the AMC network. It is set at Kevin Smith's comic book shop, Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash, in Red Bank, New Jersey. The first season ran for six one-hour episodes,[1] the premiere of which aired on February 12, 2012, following the return of The Walking Dead's second season.[2] On May 9, AMC announced that Comic Book Men was renewed for a second season of 16 half-hour episodes.[3] Season 2 premiered October 14, 2012, initially following the third season of The Walking Dead with its' first 8 episodes; the second 8 episodes spearheaded AMC's new "Real Original Thursdays" lineup along with two new series, Freakshow and Immortalized.[4] On its' new night, it initially aired at 9:00 PM EST (with repeats at 10:30PM and 12:00 Midnight EST), but after a month was moved to 10:00PM EST with a repeat episode airing at 10:30 PM (and repeats of both episodes at 1:00AM and 1:30AM EST, respectively).
Each episode of Comic Book Men is accompanied by a companion podcast, titled The Secret Stash, which is hosted on the SModcast network. For the show's first season, some podcast episodes were pre-recorded during the filming of show, while others were recorded live on the SModco Internet Radio station (S.I.R.) directly following the first airing of an episode, allowing the audience to participate by calling in to the show. For the show's second season, the episodes were all recorded in the Secret Stash and hosted by Ming Chen, occasionally joined by some of the others from the show including Walt, Bryan, Mike and occasional series contributor Rob Bruce.[5]

Hi, I like them as well. I used to collect X-Men too. Spiderman is my favorite though. Do you like ice cream?

Spiderman is pretty neat too. I love ice cream. I had some with crunched up Oreos in it awhile back. It's nice to have a place to talk to comic book people.

If your looking for book to read. Earth 2 the flash and justice league dark are good.

Are you nerds telling me that not a single one of you has dove into this yet?

I just finished up reading the Annihilation and Annihilation: Conquest series and they were damn good. The two series serve as a nice backstory for a lot of the Guardians of the Galaxy characters (Starlord, Rocket Raccon, Drax, Gamora, Quasar, Adam Warlock, Moondragon, Groot, Ronan the Accuser, etc). It also has some of the biggest villains in Marvel in them - Annihilus, Galactus, Ultron and Thanos.

Nice.

How about you Swanman, dipped your toe into the Infinity storyline yet?

I keep asking to see if it's worth getting into just on the name comics alone, or if I'm going to have to pick up all the offshoot storylines as well. DC did that with Blackest Night, and I found it annoying.

Are you talking about the infinity gauntlet storyline?

I really didn't like how it ended (kind of a cheat) but it was good.

I liked the Inferno and AOA events better...
